Im curious to hear the opinions on long term firewood storage. Ive been storing my split wood on pallets two wide and approx 25 to 30 feet long. About 6 feet tall and cribbed on each end. I no longer use tarps to cover. I found rolls of sheet plastic at Lowes does that job well, aside from a little tear here and there. Im way ahead of my usage, approx 3 years heating stored. Im always figuring on my wood source to end. I split year round and have 3 of these large piles right now. Anyone have any problems storing long term? Wood rot or Ant/ insect issues. Much of the wood i get from tree service has a carpenter ant colony but i usually throw the obviously infested pieces in the woods. I spend many hours workin the wood and it sure would be a shame if it was for nothing.
